A rapid increase in influenza patients is observed across Sri Lanka these days, with health authorities noting a situation where the illness starts with one person and affects the entire family. Parents are strongly urged to seek immediate medical ad
Although most children recover completely within a week, young children under two years of age, children with weakened immune systems, and children suffering from chronic diseases are at severe risk. While paracetamol can be given for fever according to the child's weight, 'Aspirin' should never be given to children with flu symptoms.
